Bio

The guys were in Bombay going through their mundane jobs. Something hit all of them and they decide to go to Goa to record a demo album. Actually, Pradeep was reading a biography of The Beatles and by the end of it he decided, “If the Beatles can have their Hamburg, I damn well can have my Goa.”

They had no bassist, but a friend in Goa agreed to take on the duties. They bought an Analog Mixer from Lamington road and a bunch of Ahuja microphones and were off.

The Mavyns set up shop at the Kris’ place, this beautiful 100-year-old Portuguese bungalow with bamboos replacing mic stands.

They recorded 12 demos, all original music. All songs were recorded live, no mastering of any kind.

The demo album’s name is Socegado Sessions.

About

Vivek "Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll" Nair (Keys / Guitars / Vocals / Guy who turns the amps on and off) -

 

Vivek is the most anti-racist guy you will meet. For instance, he loves both the black and white keys on his piano equally. In fact, he has even named each and every one of them individually to make each feel special.

 

Being super duper smart, Vivek spends most of his time arguing and having intellectual debates with the only other fellow who can somewhat match wits with him - namely his reflection. Most of his love songs were written during those wonderfully emotional moments. He just changed the names later.

 

He hopes one day to own his own Dodo bird. He refuses to believe they are extinct. He also believes Elvis is alive and spends most of his free time in Goa trying to find him.

 

Vivek's dream is to invent a time machine, so he can finally return home to the ‘60s.

 

 

Pradeep "Superstar" Mathews (Lead Guitar/Vocals/Wah-Wah & Other funny noise maker) -

 

Pradeep is the 'blue-eyed boy' of the band. Or is it green? We are not entirely sure. But we know for certain they do turn red after his regular jaunts to Aunty Mary's Bar.

 

When not shredding solos for the Mavyns, Pradeep spends most of his time persuing his true dream in life - Winning the 'Bob Dylan International Karaoke Championship'. The way he keeps practicing, we're sure it won't be long before he does.

 

An intellectual underachiever to the core, Pradeep is usually found contemplating the mysteries of life or trying to figure the sound of one hand clapping.


He also enjoys playing football and alligator wrestling, and has been known to dabble in other physically demanding sports like Snakes & Ladders and Ludo. One day Pradeep hopes they will name a guitar string after himm, specifically the G-string.

 

 

Kristofor Paul "Bad-Ass Chocolate Thunder" Mendonca (Drummer /Percussionist, Vocals) -

 

When asked about what role he played in the band, Kris replied, “I hit things.” And that’s all he was gonna say about that.

 

Apart from band time, Kris enjoys long walks on the beach and candle light dinners. He also enjoys reading Shakespeare and listening to opera, especially the stuff sung by Pavarotti and the other two guys. Most times you will find Kris lying on his bed watching the fan spin round and round and round and round.

 

All in all, he is a really nice guy and has been unanimously voted by the other band members as - "Most likely the one NOT to be arrested for possession of marijuana or dangerous weapons."

 

 

 

 

Varoon “Sugarush” Nair (Bass player / Vocals / Training Pilot / Roller of various items, excepting guitar cables)

 

Varoon said he would hit me with his “man purse” if i didn’t mention that he studied at the same school as the great Freddy Mercury. Needless to say, Varoon is following Freddie’s footsteps in more ways than one. We don’t judge, we just create restraining orders.

 

Varoon prides himself on being the only bassist who also plays harmonica. He also prides himself on his very toight buttocks, not to mention his ability to talk when no one is listening.

 

Varoon spends most of his free time finger painting and coming up with new ways to plug the hole in the ozone layer.

 

One day Varoon hopes to open his own music shop in Antartica.
